Maria Menounos Talks with Dr. Emily Hernandez: The Hidden Role of Biofilm Overgrowth in Gut Health
You're doing the right things for your gut, so why does something still feel off? Often, the missing piece is hiding beneath the surface: Biofilm Overgrowth.
For nearly 40 years, Biocidin Botanicals® has drawn on the intelligence of botanicals to help support the body's natural microbial balance, starting with our Biocidin18™ Botanical Blend, a synergistic combination of 18 herbs and essential oils.
On a recent episode of Heal Squad, Maria Menounos sat down with our Director of Healthcare Practitioner Education, Dr. Emily Hernandez, a naturopathic physician, to talk about one of the most overlooked pieces of gut health: biofilm — an organized microbial community that builds a protective matrix around itself, almost like a small fortress. When that fortress grows bigger than your body can naturally keep in check, that's Biofilm Overgrowth, and more probiotics alone won't fix it. Your body needs support that can actually work through the fortress walls, not just around them.
Find out what’s really standing between you and lasting balance — watch the full conversation below.
The product Maria and Dr. Emily keep coming back to is Biocidin® Liquid, the original, foundational formula that started it all.
